The backlash that will occur this year will be like never before. I envision a lot of bills being presented or passed if a state even catches a whiff of someone supporting LGBTQ+ people in June.

It's gonna be disgusting.

Congrats on the milestone

I hope there is a lot of joy. It's just the counter response will be... not great. We need to thumb our nose at them.

LGBT pride makes no sense. Why should I be proud of being born bi? Makes as much sense as being proud of being born white or male.

The pride comes from the decision to live authentically regardless of the fact that it makes you a target of all types of victimization from discrimination to physical violence.

Yeah. It still doesn't make sense to be proud of how I was born. It makes sense to be proud of an accomplishment like graduating college or some shit, but not being born a certain way. If you're gonna be proud of being gay, you might as well be proud of being white or male.

I'll say this, I've had a few bi/gay friends, and a lot of their attitude to the world was, I dare you, to say something about me being gay etc... while I shove it down your throat that I'm gay and I love big cocks up my ass etc... I don't care. I've never shoved it down anyone's throat that I rammed my cock up my gf's hole super hard last night because it's in bad taste and no one cares, and it's private.
No one cares. And when I say no one, I think that's most people. Sure, you have the few nut jobs that actually care you're gay but guess what, just like some gay folks and some straight folks etc..., I try to avoid those people not confront them every chance I get.
It's always been the same story since the beginning. You're always going to have people trying to change people, then you have the people who just try to flow along and not be bothered by people's shit.

They are proud because of posts like this .

And you didnt get beaten up, or sometimes killed, or told to go to hell because you were white or straight.

It's not the 1950s anymore. It's not some super dangerous thing to be openly gay. Unless you're deep into buttfuck nowhere Alabama, no one has a problem with gay people at all.

You're highlighting a type of person (that's not contained to a specific sexuality) and using it as an umbrella to make it seem like that's what an entire community is about so that it's easy for you to dismiss it as a whole. That's a pretty popular tactic used by certain people. You also talk like a 13 year old who just figured out what shock value is.

even if you were right and people magically stopped committing acts of hate against gay people in the 1950s, anti-gay sentiment admist the public and in the media was pretty commonplace to see even as recent as the mid-2000s.

and even then if you honestly think people should only be proud of themselves if they are currently and actively having a gun waved in their face for hitting on someone in a bar, people are absolutely allowed to be proud to openly be part of a subculture that was oppressed as long as it was

i am gay and dont give a shit about pride month particularly, but its not a particularly difficult concept to wrap your head around all the same.

"What's there to be proud of? It's not like you accomplished anything" is such a tired old take. It's pride as in the opposite of shame. LGBT pride is about refusing to be ashamed of who you are. There's never been shame or stigma in being straight, cis, or white and that's why you don't need a fucking straight pride month.

I'm wrong. Gay people in 2022 are the most oppressed minority in the history of humanity. What happened to Matthew Shepard happens to every single LGBT person in the whole world. The only gay people left alive are the super closeted ones.

...is ...is this what it would take for you to actually care? God damn man.

Ok, let me accept you being obviously hyperbolic. It's still a horrible argument. Why the hell would you pull back when your methods are working? That's gotta be the dumbest strategy anyone could think of.

"Ok. Calm down guys. We don't want to be too accepted"

They're just doing what works in current society. And that's getting up on people's faces so that they can't just avoid people in your community being mistrested. You also seem like you're only pulling from areas in the US that are pro. There's still many many ignorant places in US. You don't just leave the people there to figure it out themselves just because in your states or cities it's now where it should be. You continue to show them that there's places where it's not like those around you that reject your lifestyle. There's many gay people growing up in conservative households that really can use these reminders that not everyone is like their ignorant family
